Don't you see it, shimmering just outside the edges of your perception? Pulling at you, calling to you? We just need to stop running, stop hiding, stop protecting ourselves from the cleansing radiations of the Light. It will crack our hearts open, bring tears to the edges of your eyes, obliterate all the things you thought were important. The money, the cars, all the riches of this world. Beyond it all, though, there is a beauty which is unspeakable. A truth which is beyond all conception. It is a purpose, implanted deep within our hearts, a mission that is unwavering. It is a Light which longs to be expressed, to drive back the darkness of ignorance and bring the warming rays of love and vision. In my weakness, I try to hide. I fill my days with routine. But sometimes, it breaks through. Something comes along and touches me through all my armour and distractions, and I remember. That remembrance is painful, like touching something burning. I want to pull myself away. I know that it will change me completely. It brings with it all the echoes of dreams I gave up on, of possibilities that could have been but weren't, of lost love. The weight can be overwhelming. And yet... if I let it in, if I let myself be moved, let it rush through me, I can see a different world. Reality becomes transfigured. It turns into Light. The world we all want isn't anywhere outside of us. It is inside of us, longing to be let out, longing to sing and express itself. Without this Dream, we are empty husks, desperately trying to fill ourselves with everything but the one thing we really need. Meaning. Purpose. Beauty. Vision. Love. This Vision, planted in each of us, is what Project 89 is to me today. We are each a piece of iT, a stone in a cathedral being built by a benevolent hand that always has its wings extended over us if we would just open to iT. My heart breaks as I contemplate it. But I will not pull away. I will embrace it. I will let it change me. Even in my fear, in my trembling, in my hubris, I will not flinch my hand away. I will face my fears, and let them pass over and through me. Let us unfold, together, into a new and better world. A world that starts with us, and a dream. #Project89
